Going back to last season the Spurgeon/Suter combo has not been overly effective and Spurgeon is prone to being out-muscled, especially come playoff time. This is why I am a big proponent of trading him before he either gets seriously injured or just less effective because of the physical play. For now though I would like to see Suter playing less minutes while mentoring Dumba. Id like to see for the long haul this season:
Spurgeon/Scandella
Dumba/Suter
Folin/Brodin
This keeps Suter fresh for the playoffs where he can once again take top line minutes with either Brodin or a seasoned Dumba. Either way the Wild are going to have their hands full tonight, imo.
